Coding:
Students are introduced to creative coding and robotics through fun and engaging projects, stories and animations. In this tested & proven curriculum, we help students develop into logical thinkers, problem solvers and creators through creative coding projects using MIT Scratch or Scratch Jr. Students adventure through code as they begin creating animations, games, music, and videos of their super heroes. They also collaborate on projects and share their projects online. This program allows students to develop 21st century skills through the use of technology. No prior coding experience needed.
Robotics:
Students create and code robots, and learn to apply important concepts like light & sound sensors, gears, pulleys, axles and levers etc. Students program and debug in real time applying the concepts learnt in class and then transition into the world of electrical engineering & robotics. Great class for engineers of tomorrow!!
Concepts covered:
* Block Programming
* Motors, Pulleys, and Gears
* Gearing Up & Down
* Sensors – Motion, Tilt, Color & Infrared
Modding with Minecraft:
As they progress through the year, students get to go beyond just playing Minecraft, they get to program it! They imagine, create and share amazing mods in Minecraft by learning programming concepts and applying them to realize their ideas. We are excited to see what amazing ideas and "mods" students come up with! Students are challenged to think logically and apply their critical reasoning skills to create mods by learning to write and deploy code in the Minecraft environment. No prior coding experience needed.
